Limequats 
GRAPEFRUIT, continued 
Glenred (Henninger Ruby). Patent No. 
53. An outstanding new seedless variety. 
Although we have been growing this fine 
new type at Winter Haven for a number of 
years, it has not before been offered on 
Citrus trifoliata stock for the colder sections 
of the South. It closely resembles Thomp- 
son Pink, with two important exceptions: 
whereas the flesh of Thompson is a delicate 
pink, the flesh of Glenred is dark rich pink, 
resembling the color of a ripe watermelon, 
and whereas Thompson does not show its 
pink color on the outside, the rind of 
Glenred ‘“‘blushes”’ attractively. This char- 
acteristic distinguishes Glenred easily 
from any variety of ‘‘white’’ Grapefruit 
without the necessity of cutting the fruit. 
In habit of growth and time of maturity, 
Glenred approximates Marsh Seedless. The 
fruit is somewhat larger and commercially 
seedless. 
Marsh Seedless. A practically seedless va- 
riety which can be held on the trees very 
late. Fine-quality fruit with smooth yel- 
low skin. It bears heavy and regular crops. 
Thompson Pink. A sport of Marsh Seed- 
less, slightly larger, not quite so flattened, 
of excellent flavor and the flesh is a delicate 
pink in color. Originated in Manatee 
County, Florida, and has for many years 
been a favored variety commercially and 
in private plantings. 
LIMEQUATS AND 
KUMQUATS 
Ornamental and useful applies directly 
to both Kumquats and Limequats. The 
plants are small, seldom growing more than 
12 feet tall, with a spread of branches 
about equal to the height. The foliage is 
bright, dark green, and is as handsome 
as that of any other evergreen shrub. 
Both Kumquats and Limequats are hardy, 
even as hardy as the Satsuma Oranges. 
The fruit of the Kumquat is small, vary- 
ing from an inch to 2 inches long. It begins 
to ripen in mid-November, and is used 
chiefly for marmalades and jellies. 
Limequats might be called ‘“‘little 
lemons’”’ on account of the size and appear- 
ance of the fruit. The plant grows 8 to 12 
feet high, is somewhat spreading, and has 
the usual glossy green foliage of citrus 
trees. The fruit is about 2 inches in diam- 
eter, bright yellow, and a mature plant is 
heavily loaded. The flavor is sharply acid 
and is used chiefly in making “‘ades”’ and 

Owari Satsuma Oranges 
OTHER CITRUS FRUIT 
Calamondin. <A small citrus fruit 114 
inches in diameter, of orange-red color, 
somewhat flattened; skin thin, easily re- 
moved from the pulp; sections separated 
as in the Mandarin oranges, juice clear and 
strongly acid. Makes a pleasant drink. 
Eustis Limequat. New, attractive, acid 
citrus—a cross of a lime with Nagami 
kumquat. Tree is vigorous, quickly pro- 
ducing fine crops of acid fruits which make 
an excellent drink. Fruit oblong, somewhat 
larger than the Key lime; rind thin, grape- 
fruit color. 
Glen Citrangedin. A hybrid between the 
Willits citrange and the calamondin. Very 
hardy; has withstood temperatures as low 
as 12 degrees F. without serious injury. 
Fruit small, resembles calamondin; excel- 
lent for making a drink which can scarcely 
be distinguished from limeade. Hardy. 
Lakeland Lime. For locations where frost 
injury is likely. It is about the size of the 
Mexican or Key Lime and its flavor is 
excellent. Practically everbearing; it be- 
gins to bloom and bear fruit the first or 
second year after planting. 
Meyer Lemon. Perhaps the hardiest of the 
Lemon varieties. An excellent bearer of 
large fruits of high acidity. Particularly 
valuable in central to north Florida and 
warmer Gulf Coast areas. 
TEMPLE ORANGE 
A “fancy” Orange of the highest qual- 
ity, which should be in every home or- 
chard where round Oranges can be grown. 
The fruits are large, with a deep orange 
skin that separates easily from the pulp 
and can be sold as one of the so-called 
“Kid-glove’’ Oranges. The pulp is free 
from “‘rag,’’ very juicy, with a delicious, 
spicy, rich vinous flavor. There are about 
20 seeds. The tree is a vigorous grower, 
bearing freely when very young. 
OWARI SATSUMA 
About 1885 we secured a lot of budwood 
from Fruitland Park. Groves planted 
with trees from this stock became noted 
for the high-quality fruit produced. This 
quality was so pronounced that an inves- 
tigation was made by Dr. Tanaka and 
Mr. Scott, who decided that the trees were 
the pure Japanese Owari strain. 
With average seasons and proper care 
the Satsuma can withstand a temperature 
of 18 degrees without serious injury 
when it is budded on Citrus trifoliata— 
the only understock adapted to it.
